Aero Tec Laboratories was founded in 1970 as a design and testing facility for "flexible composite" materials. Shortly thereafter, the firm broadened its scope to include the actual fabrication of end products from its own outstanding fiber/elastomer composites. These end products are used in many industries, including motorsport, automotive, marine, defense, aviation, and aerospace!
Over its generation of growth, ATL USA has assembled an enviable legion of agents and distributors, plus a sister company in England, ATL UK.
